Grey’s Anatomy: Scoop on the future of Cristina and Owen’s relationship in season 9 from TVLine’s Michael Ausiello

Ausiello: Yes, but there will be darkness before the dawn. “Initially, it’s going to be very unsettling,” previews exec producer Shonda Rhimes of the couple’s Season 9 trajectory. “And then it’s going to get fairly romantic as we watch them find their way back to one another.” But Rhimes is quick to stress that their road to reconciliation will be paved with bumps both old and new. “There are the aftereffects of the plane crash,” she explains. “There’s still his cheating. Also, he still wants a family and she still doesn’t. That is a huge obstacle for a couple. I’d like to explore what happens when two people want fundamentally different things. I didn’t want them to just walk away from each other. I felt like a lot of couples would fight to be together and figure out how to do it.”

In ten day’s that bumpy road to reconciliation will come to life on our TV screens. The last new episode of Grey’s Anatomy aired back on May 17, 2012 — We all remember that episode, 8×24, ‘Flight.’ What an emotional roller coaster that was.

The new season, season 9 of Grey’s Anatomy picks up a few months later and the episode 9×01 is entitled ’Going Going Gone.’ That premieres on Thursday September 27, 2012 at 9pm on ABC. It’s going to be another emotional ride folks, creator Shonda Rhimes has scooped that all summer. So put your seat belt on.
